Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) & Medial Collateral Knee Ligament (MCL) Injuries

ACL and MCL injuries can be significant injuries, resulting in length periods of rehab, time off sport and work. The MCL, or medial collateral ligament supports the inside of the knee. ACL, or Anterior Cruciate Ligament is located in the middle of the knee joint. This ligament is crucial for providing stability to the knee, specifically with twisting and pivoting motions. These ligaments are often injured together in varying severities. How are they injured? Contact injuries: Both the ACL and MCL can be injured resulting from a blow to the outside of the knee.
